Act 2 - I really want Ravencrow Neversmiles. ---

I lost out on a lot of antlers, since I didn’t know how the Acts work. I still had well over 1400 carvings and 900 flowers/plants/whatever when the Acts switched to books and chicken fingers. Now I’ve got the dump, the recycling center, and the rail yard competing for jobs for my limited population. ---

Yeah, ugh. I was hoarding them because I thought I’d still use them, and missed the Parson (is he worth he donuts?) because I didn’t note when the event ends, except that the turn in track had one more day listed, but I guess that was just the turn in for donuts track. > [@raventhief](#): > > I am on a Kindle, and the counter icon for antlers does not take me to pagans. the antler icon for the quest to get however-many antlers to advance to the next stage does. Yes, the quest icon. It hasn’t come back for Act II yet. ---

I got the Parson last night and knew I’d never collect enough antlers for even one round of bonuts, so I put the game side. Dunno yet whether the Parson is worth donuts. I doubt it. He doesn’t pay like a premium character, and the new game characters the past several events haven’t impressed me. As far as the prize track, the only one I want is the Wicker Man. ---

I’m on Kindle, and I’m not sure of the timing – it was sometime before I got the first prize today (snowman) – a brooch icon appeared in my taskbar that takes me to pagans. ---

Satyr Willie didn’t unlock for me. I can’t seem to trigger it. Anyone else having an issue? ---

Try this: click on Homer and he should have a task about chicken fingers that’s only 6 seconds long - I think that’s the trigger for Willie ---

> [@Personal](#): > > Now it’s an antler icon so who the hell knows. They seem to take awhile to show up, maybe after the first prize but I didn’t note when. I noted that right before I earned the second prize (collectibles between snowman and Ba’al pit), the icon was antlers and immediately after switched to brooches. Everybody still has a 6s task that clutters their job list and requires scrolling. Any idea how to get rid of it? ---

> [@thelurkinghorror](#): > > Everybody still has a 6s task that clutters their job list and requires scrolling. Any idea how to get rid of it? I spent a little time grinding on these tasks earlier today and made $10k fairly quickly (my bank is just over $100k, so it was a significant payout for me). I’ll do it a few more times while the tasks are still available, to pay for my next couple land buys. ---

I had 419 donuts (wow) and I made the leap and got Jessie Grass. I wanted some help on the Monorail since many of the characters who do the recycling are engaged in Christmas tasks. I also want to get Herb and I’ll splurge on him at some point soon. ---

> [@raventhief](#): > > Act 2 - I really want Ravencrow Neversmiles. I just got her. What was she from? The last 4-5 years I don’t watch the new episodes that often because it conflicts with other shows I watch but I don’t remember her at all. Was it maybe a Halloween episode? ---

I’m looking at the mystery prizes. I have enough for a gold box and would love to get Mr. Plow or Plow King, or maybe Springfield Mall. I might keep saving, because I’d love to get the Yes Man, but on the other hand, the other platinum prizes don’t interest me as much. ---

Season 15, Maggie was discovered to have an IQ higher than Lisa’s. Predictably Lisa went all emo about it. ---

I’m going to have enough for a second box before the end of the event, but I don’t know if I will be getting a gold. I hope we get one for a Christmas present tomorrow. ---
